Despite being estranged from her billionaire husband, Ned Nwoko, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has done the exact opposite of what many expected.
While some people were worried about how she would fare financially, she has gone on a remarkable car shopping spree, buying multiple luxury vehicles for herself and her family within weeks.
Most recently, she gifted her younger sister, Destiny Daniels, a brand-new Mercedes-Benz SUV to celebrate her birthday. 
This grand gesture came only days after she bought two replacement cars for her mother and also acquired a luxury SUV for herself.
All The Cars Regina Daniels Bought
Within a short period, Regina has bought four vehicles — two for her mother, one for herself, and one for her sister.
Earlier, Rita Daniels revealed that one of her cars was damaged in an accident, while another was taken back by its owner, leaving her without a car.
In response, odogwu Regina stepped in and bought her a truck and an SUV to solve the problem. At the same time, the actress also treated herself to a pre-owned 2024 GAC Trumpchi M8 SUV.
She then completed the spree by gifting her sister a luxury SUV as a birthday present.
Estimated Cost Of The Car Shopping Spree
No one asked, but many are curious about how much she may have spent on these cars. Below is an estimated price range based on listings from Jiji.ng, Nigeria’s largest car marketplace.
1. Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV (Destiny’s birthday gift):
- 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class models on Jiji.ng start from ₦63,000,000
- 2023 models are listed from ₦110,000,000
The exact model year Regina gifted wasn’t confirmed, but a clean foreign-used GLE likely falls in the ₦63m – ₦110m range.
2. Toyota Hilux Truck (Rita’s Valentine gift — car 1)
- 2023 Toyota Hilux models start from ₦55,000,000 for used units, with cleaner foreign-used options like the SR5 GR Sport listed at around ₦58.89m
- 2024 Hilux models start from ₦28,000,000, with brand new units going up to ₦80m and above
3. SUV (Rita’s Valentine gift — car 2 — identified by fans as a Lexus GX/Toyota Prado)
- A comparable Lexus GX or Toyota Land Cruiser Prado typically runs between ₦25m and ₦80m, depending on year and condition, based on the general range for that class.
4. Pre-owned 2024 GAC Trumpchi M8 (Regina’s gift to herself)
The M8 isn’t listed on Nigerian platforms yet, but its factory pricing in China gives a reference.
- The 2024 GAC Trumpchi M8 is priced in China from ¥179,800 to ¥342,800 (roughly $25,000–$47,000 USD), which, when imported into Nigeria with duties and clearing costs, could translate to approximately ₦50m – ₦90m for a pre-owned unit
Important caveat: Jiji.ng is a peer-to-peer marketplace, and prices reflect individual seller listings, not fixed retail prices.
In conclusion, Regina has spent somewhere between ₦183 million and ₦360 million on cars alone in under a month.
I guess she doesn’t need Ned Nwoko after all.
